Brian has been working on a website to raise money for ALS research, and as part of this website, he decided to make a video. The idea was pretty simple, but the actual work involved in making the video was intense. I don't want to give away the entire plot of the video (which will be available for viewing soon), but at one point, a giant dinosaur terrorizes the streets of Columbus and is wrestled to the ground by the video's hero figure. Taping this part of the video involved a giant green screen in the living room, and since the dinosaur was also green, we also needed a blue screen. Brian ended up playing the dinosaur (and one other role - see if you can find him in the video). Here are some pictures of the taping of the dinosaur fight scene, staring Brian and the video's hero figure. We will get the complete video viewing info out soon.

The hero was filmed seperately, and the two figures were combined digitally:

We rented the dino costume from a pretty awesome costume shop. Here is a close up of the head (along with many of the other charecter heads they had):

oh, I tried to make a green/blue screen when making my movie for month in the museum but couldn't get it to work. I really wanted to make a bunch of random videos so that I could put in cool back-drops whenever the urge hit me.
Brian says the key is lots of bright light, so the background screen is a very consistent color. :)
I see a very special artist's studio in your future. Dad
